I was, of course, thinking mainly of Ukraine that day, and the state of the world. Now I will need it very personally, too. I'll be around, but probably (re)posting less than usual. Fingers crossed that by this time next year, the light will have returned... for all who need it.
I want only one thing for 2026: That the light will win.

Russia has cranked up the disinformation operations for the next 24 to 72 hours; expect to see disruption operations targeting the US midterm election, attempting to sow insurrection inside Ukraine, and against NATO troop movements on the Eastern front.

Ще пара слів про організаторку вчорашніх подій у Петропавлівській Борщагівці. Жінка, яка закликала громадян прийти туди, видавала себе за співробітницю приватної швидкої, яка такою не була. Раніше вона закликала виходити на Майдан "за мир". Акція була організована проросійськими силами. До протестів "за мир" у інтервʼю пропагандистці Медведчука закликав народний депутат зі "Слуги народу" Данило Гетманцев. Цікавий збіг. Ще поруч з організаторкою учорашніх подій засвітилася проросійська нардепка Скороход. Проблеми з мобілізацією та правами військових і мобілізованих є. Коли ми їх не вирішуємо, ми даємо козирі у руки подібних мразот. Нинішні підходи у мобілізації не завжди адекватні та справедливі. І їх треба змінювати. Притягати до відповідальності тих, хто порушує права людини. Держава провалила цю роботу абсолютно. Однак до організації учорашніх подій виникає все більше питань. Якщо поруч з реформою мобілізації не буде і відповідальності для чортів, які навмисно качають країну зсередини, ситуація стане ще більш небезпечною. В країні повно російської агентури, яка використовує реальні проблеми з метою підриву нашої держави зсередини. Треба усувати і причини проблем з мобілізацією, і притягати до реальної відповідальності антиукраїнських діячів.

The spouses of Ukraine’s, Italy’s and Estonia’s ambassadors to Australia have resigned from the Women’s International Club of Canberra after it admitted Irina Petrakova, wife of Russia’s ambassador. As my beloved wife Liana has rightly put it in the resignation letter: “This is not about a Russian woman simply because she is Russian,” but because she is in Australia representing “the country that killed my cousin, burned my friend alive, took the lives of many of my friends from school and university. She represents a Russia that kills, maims, commits sexual violence and subjects people to horrific torture — a Russia for which, through its actions, the value of human life appears to be disregarded. This includes the lives of the 38 Australian passengers who were on board MH17.”  Read more in the Politico: politico.com/news/2026/11/03…

Crime without accountability is practice. Justice is not vengeance. When the Soviet Union collapsed, we let euphoria blind us to the need for the hard work of investigation and responsibility. Do not forgive, do not forget, and clean house.

Another Trump scam to screw Europe as he asks Europeans to pay even more money into the PURL program while still withholding the weapons they've already bought for Ukraine.
🇺🇸🇺🇦 The US is planning to ask NATO allies to contribute more money to the NATO’s Prioritized Ukraine Requirements List, or PURL, a key weapons-delivery program for Ukraine, - Bloomberg The US has already signaled to some allies that it will ask for the money, with a funding gap of about $2 billion for weapons packages that have already been approved.

...a frightened yet loyal dog. Yesterday, the russian military killed her owner. It was a woman named Liuba, who had always fed animals in her town, and all the locals knew her. Around 10:00 a.m., russian forces dropped two FAB-250 glide bombs with UMPK kits on residential areas of Sloviansk. As a result of the attack, the 68-year-old woman was killed, and her dog sat for a long time near the spot where Liuba died. Six people were injured that day. Local residents are recovering from the trauma and putting their homes back in order.

Der russische Militärgeheimdienst GRU und Akteure wie das "Center for Geopolitical Expertise" und der Doppelkopf-Adler-Bewegung sind die Köpfe hinter einer netzweiten Desinformationskampagne zu den US-Midterms, die Trumps Republikanern zuarbeitet und demokratische Kandidaten ins Visier nimmt. bnd.bund.de/DE/Service/Publi…
Russia’s Storm-1516 is targeting Democratic Senate candidates with fabricated sexual assault and death-threat allegations, using stolen identities and doctored news broadcasts to deceive voters days before the US midterms.

All of Kyiv is without water right now after a massive Russian attack last night. While Trump is welcoming Russian diesel to our shores (thus funding these attacks) and Kushner and Witkoff are doing oil and gas deals with Putin's cronies.

Absolutely incredible stuff: NJ Governor Mikie Sherrill just sent a letter to Jersey's port operators and businesses, threatening them with severe penalties if they unload illegally imported Russian oil. "These actions are illegal, in part, because Vladimir Putin continues to engage in an illegal war of aggression against Ukraine. See United Nations Charter, Ch. 1, Art. 2, Par. 4. Further, the U.S. is currently engaged in hostilities with Iran, whose military is responsible for the killing of 23 servicemembers and wounding dozens of others. In purchasing oil from Russia, a known supplier and financial supporter of Iran, Donald Trump is providing funding for a country that is engaged in hostilities with America, up to and including killing American soldiers."

Ukrainian rescuers are desperately digging for survivors after a Russian double-tap airstrike hit an aid center and community bomb shelter in Zaporizhzhia yesterday. The death toll currently stands at 33, with over 50 missing. Five people have been pulled from the rubble.

Three associates of Vučić, former Serbian intelligence chief Aleksandar Vulin, minister Nenad Popović and Srbijagas director Dušan Bajatović, were forced to return to Belgrade after their flight to Moscow was turned back over Lithuania. The plane was ordered back on security grounds by Belgrade airport’s security director. Vulin maintained close ties with former FSB chief Nikolai Patrushev, shared intercepted recordings of Russian opposition figures with him and helped establish a joint Serbian-Russian team to monitor activists. Popović built much of his fortune through Russian businesses, while Bajatović is an honorary Russian consul in Novi Sad. Vulin and Popović are under US sanctions.

This shouldn’t need to be said but: If you run a sporting contest and one of your member nations is literally trying to erase another of your member nations off the face of the Earth through a vicious war of aggression that has already killed many hundreds of their athletes and coaches, and destroyed or damaged nearly a thousand of their sporting facilities, while attempting to upend the rules-based order that makes international sport possible in the first place, and the aggressor heavily incorporates its own athletes and competitors into its pro-war propaganda, then you are absolutely batshit insane if you think they can continue to play as normal. Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with you? Did you smack your head on the ice? Russia has destroyed five ice hockey rinks in Ukraine since starting its war of aggression, including this one pictured here in Druzhkivka, home to HC Donbas and a children's hockey and figure-skating school. It was storing humanitarian aid when Russia destroyed it.

The horrific moment a russian FAB-3000 struck a school where civilians had gathered to receive humanitarian aid. 31 killed. 48 still missing. russia is a murderous state. Stop pretending otherwise.
Komyshuvakha, Zaporizhzhia region, Ukraine. 💔 31 civilians killed. 48 still missing. This is the human cost of russia’s deliberate mass murder of civilians. And Donald Trump stands with the aggressor. Never let him rewrite that reality. Remember who he sides with.
